and Mr. Wise of Va in which it will veadrait
:.t2d,V thinks that Mr Wise came off econd
" best . It occurred on the question, to strflcaom
the Journal Mr. Barnard's Protect :
Mr. Wise insisted on his objection in Ha appli
! . cability to the question of the election, roturna,
' and qualification of members, and, in theTcourse
f his remark, contended that the time at which
this question had been pressed was premature
and improper ; that it coold not be decided until;
. i .nli mtsM nf fart and law were rerjorted thro'
. he appropriate? committee, as would enabfe the
House to judge of the qualifications of the par
ties referred to;, and tbat, until that, time, the
Governor's certificate that they had;heen; duly
elected was prima facie evidence of the; fact. '
Mr. W argued that the only Object in bringing
up the matter in this way - was to excite public
" attention and to raise party questions. .
Mr. Clingman, of .North Carolina, observed
V that lie should notrjow have troubled the House
. with a 'single word on this subject but. for what

here under the broad seal of the State ; and those
certificates exhibited here constituted prima facie
'evidence in favor of their right to seals on this
floor ; and it 410 remained until the validity of the
certificates was 'disproved by evidence of a defi
ciency of votes tr other error in the returns.
The question whether they "were entitled to 6eats
' was a question subsequently to be settled on evi
dence. But that was not the case now here. In
: the State of New Hampshire, whose Governor
gave certificates to the gentlemen claiming scats
from that State, there existed no law authorizing
him to certify as he had certified.

know that there existed no rlw of New Hampshire

they were bound as judges to know, all public

Mr. Clingman. Then the gentleman, though
ha denies it inthe particular instance, now gives
Ap his principle that the llouse before being sworn
could not judge who were members.! Mr. Cs
object hsjeen, as ho stated jn the outset, to
hw that the minority now here stood on differ
ent grounds from those formerly taken, in the
memorable New?Jersey .case. The gentleman
said tbeprotest bad been presented only for the
sake of agitation ; but was this, a just imputation
on the motives of those: who drew up such a pa
per ? What -would gentlemen have had them to
do 1 , If they conscientiously believed that, in the
case of gentlemen elected .on general ticket, a
law of Congress had been violated, could they
take any other course to Express that opinion
than to throw it into the form of a, protest against
the. admission of such individuals ! What other
course was left to them! Gentlemen complain
ed that the case of . their election had in this pa
per been prejudged ; but the only prejudgment
of their claim was that which had been passed by
the majority of the Hoifse; the House it was
which, by allowing these gentlemen to vote for a
Speaker, had prejudged their case. And tn such
a juncture all the miuoYity could do was to enter
their dissent, and protest against what they be
lieved to be both illegul and unconstitutional. Yet
for this they were charged with a desire to agitate.
The gentleman had protested that, he was no
nullifier. Mr. C.. wasvilling to believe that such
was not the gentleman's character; yet, if he
sanctioned and sustained nullification, the effect
was the same as if he jield and avowed nullifica
tion principles. Certainly, if laws were thus to
be nullified, and that'by tits law making power,
they could not expect much respect to be showo
for their laws by others.
COOLING DOWN.
The Madisonian of the 12ih, in reply to the
strictures of the Globe.on Mr. Robert' Tyler (no
doubt written by that young gentleman himself,)
concedes more strength to jyir. Clay than we are
prepared to expect from him or4 Pa." Mr. Clay's
real strength -may be inferred from these ad
missions of his bitterest foes. We dispute se
veral of the states which the youn gentleman
has thought proper to surrender the locofocos, and
foremost among them, Virginia. That 6tate the
Whigs mean to carry in the spring and fall both,
for they have more than accessions enough to
fection, and to annihilate the little majority of 1440
against them in 1840 more than enough already
besides the acquisitions which every day will
bring. - .
The Madisonian or Mr. Root Tyler, more ju
diciously than is common with either, says :
Rick Whig.
Mr. Tyler placed his opposition to Blair &
Rives on this ground of wrong and persecution,
and on that of the necessity of union in the party.
We think this argument of the necessity of con
ciliation peculiarly strong. Juding from the re
cent elections, the "Whig vote, in all human proba
bility, will prevail in the following states at the
coming Presidential election, even with the most
strenuous exertions of the united Democratic party
to prevent it, viz :

electorial votes in alL One hundred and thirty
eight votes are necessary to an election. The
Whigs having one hundred and eleven, have to
struggle for twenty sevon electors. The Demo
cratic candidate having sixty-five votes, has. to
struggle to obtain seventy-five votes." This very
statement of the case is sufficient to cause any
republican opposed to Mr, Clay and his policy to
feel doubt and alarm as to the result. Such is
however, the fact, and it is unwise to attempt to.
conceal it. To conceal it, under the idea that a
Democratic President is to be made,' as a matter
of course, as lovers in a novel marry of course, is
the height of folly, and would result in certain de
feat to the ?auso When, in addition to this fact.
We come to recollect that ui the fate election of
New York, more than sufficient to elect the Whig
President according to Vonr impression has un
questionably thrown a majority of the popular vote
against the Democratic party the most discreet
and decided steps should have been at once taker!
to insure the success of the republican cause.'
WHIG NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
The nomination of the Hon. Wm. A. Graham
as the Whig candidate for Governor, gives uni
versal pat is taction. In the person of the nominee
the Whig party presents candidate against whom
no man can say aught. Even the bitterest polifc.
icfal opponent extol him for his virtue.hls talents,
his amiability of manners and his social disposi
tion. Ifwe ransack the State from the seaboard
to the mountains, where shall we find his equal 1
In these days of high party excitement, we know

just as patriotic as the other as far as the masses
are concerned. Probably, the same cannot, wun
trutli, be said of the leaders. .
We believe, the Whigs believe with an earn
estness and constancy that cannot pe snasen,,
with an untiring ,?eal which has burned brighter
as difficulties thickenedr that the Whk? Paett
offer principles and a candidate, the best in every
respect, for the interests and honor of the country,
and the welfare of the people. They think that
by adopting their principles, we should have a
good currency, a revival of business, an economi
cal Administration, justice to. the States, the pur
poses' and designs of the Constitution carried out,
and-tha credit and standing of the Nation eleva
ted t home and abroad. They believe that cor
ruptions and abuses have crept into the Depart
ments of the Government, which ought to be re
formed ; and that the talents and sagacity and
patriotism of such a Statesman as Henbt Clay
are needed at this lime to effect the objects they
have in view. And they further believe, that to
one so eminent, who has devoted his whole life to
the service of his country, and who has left upon
every page of her history for the last twenty years
the marks of hia genius and practical knowledge
of the art of governing that to such an one to
Henry Clat justice is due, by his elevation to
the" office of Chief Magistrate of the Republic.
Now, it is the duty of the Whigs to enforce
these opinions upon the attention and considera
tion of whom ? Why, their opponents. They
have no converts to make among themselves.
They are all decided, unanimous, enthusiastic.
It is, those who are not now of the same way of
thinking, upon whom an impression is to be made,
and Conviction, if possible, fastened. How then
are we to approach our fellow citizens so as to
accomplish this ! Surely not byjdenunciations,
by abuse, by vituperative language! No! It
must bo done by appeals to their judgment and to
their common sense ; by arguments which will
reach their understanding: and by exhortations
which will arouse and excite their love for the
Constitution and our republican institutions.
Come, let us reason together" must be the kind
invitation of the Whigs every where. The re
sult we may. anticipate with a full confidence in
its being successful.
We are for yielding nothing, for neglecting no
fair weapon in an honorable political contest ; but
we are, especially, Jor disseminating trutt and
information among the people, so as to make them
understand exactly the state of the case, and to
bring them to a correcfeonclusiori and we are
opposed, in tolo, to the plea of considering men as
enemies, or foes, merely becaause they differ from
us in politics. Error of judgment, we believe,
notwithstanding the pride of opinion and the pre
judice., of party, may not be only tolerated, but
tive should now be the great purpose of the Whig
party. Bound together among themselves as a
band of brothers, they have only to seek, in a la
bor of love, to induce others to unite in the same
patriotic fellowship. They hold tljeir arms wide
open to receive and recognise such of their fellow
citizens, as convinced of the necessity of the
measure, may wish to join with them in the no
ble and honorable effort to elect Hen r y Clay as
the next President of the United States.
MILITARY GALLANTRY.
It strikes us that we have rarely, if ever, read
of an incident showing more true generosity of
spirit than the subjoined, which is copied from the
Montreal Transcript A , momentary effort fqr
another's good, even if it shduld be at the risk of
life, is comparatively trifling to the enduring sac
rifice which is spoken of below :
In consequence of the long stay of the 7.1st
regiment amongst us there had been a number of
marriages without leave,and on the order for the
West India station being received, great natural
alarm prevailed among the families of those whose
wivds the regulation of the services did not allow
to proceed in the transports. The number of roeli
so situated was larg, and the separation would
have been most painful. In this dilemma, the gal
lantry and high feeling which prevailed in the
corps, pointea out a . way by which the difficulty
might be overcome. To the surprise and admira
tion ,bf the gallant officer in command, nearly
two hundred men stepped from the ranks of the
reserve battalion, which remains at Chambly, and
offered themselves as volunteers in place of their
married comrads. By this truly generous and
soldier-like conduct, says the Montreal Gazette,
the separation and consequent misery of faroibes
was prevented, and all permanent volunteers for
Canada, and bid soldiers who were permitted for
good general conduct to remain in the Colony,
prior 10 discharge, .or who were found unfit for
tropical service, were replaced.
" Honor to the gallaut men, who have perform
ed this noble and disinterested act. That the
British soldier ia a brave man, even his enemies
have been compelled to admit ; that he is as gen
erous as he is brave, this and a thousand similar,
instances prove ; and it is' suchact as these that
mark his true character. To volunteer for a for
lorn hope, requires a desperate courage, which a
soldier of depraved mind and bad disposit ion, may
possess in common with a man of horfor and chiv
alrous feelings ; but come forward unsolicited,
when there is no excitement to urge one.onynor
reward to hp gained, and to offer to incur all
the risk and inconveniences of a voyage to a
foreign country, and bad climate, in order that
their married comrades may escape the sacrifice
of a separation from the ir wives and children
this requires the co-Operatioh of i very different
set of feeing, antTdemands a sacrifice which may
well command our admiration, ,' May the winds
which take these noble fellows from our snores
be favorable, and be followed by the blessings of
the mother, the wife, and the.. child; may they
meet with th a) happiness in their new quarters,
which, their disinterested conduct in Canada leads
us to hope for them." ' ' t'?., ,T , ; i ..'
